Yasmine Bleeth, voted one of People Magazine's
"50 Most Beautiful" of 1995, stars as Caroline Holden on the internationally
renowned, highly-rated, hit series "Baywatch."
Yasmine began her
career at the early age of 6 months, when she was featured as the Johnson &
Johnson Baby. At age six, she appeared in a Max Factor campaign, along with Christina
Ferrare. Her work in this campaign caught the eye of fashion photographer, Francesco
Scavullo, who subsequently included her in his self-entitled book "Scavullo's
Women." At the age of 12, Yasmine was cast opposite Buddy Hacket in the feature
film "Hey Babe." Bi-lingual Bleeth attended
United Nations International School (UNIS) in New York City, where she continued
modeling and acting. Bleeth, then 16, won the role of "Ryan Fenelli"
and the hearts of millions on the ABC soap opera "Ryan's Hope." In 1991,
staying in the ABC family, she created the role as the sultry, misunderstood "Lee
Anne Demerest" on the highly acclaimed soap opera "One Life To Live."
Her feature films include the upcoming sci-fi thriller, "The
Force," (Image Productions) directed by Pierre David, whose directorial credits
include the successful "Internal Affairs." "The Force" casts
Bleeth opposite Jason Gedrick. In her next role, Bleeth appears in "Ghosts
May Kiss" (Cafe Productions) with Flea, bassist for alternative rock band
The Red Hot Chili Peppers. This romantic fairy tale examines the tragedy of lost
love. Bleeth plays Lavinia, lover of the ghost Cassanova, who is stuck in a child's
pop-up book from the 17th century. "Ghosts May Kiss" is the result of
a collaboration between 1993 Venice Film Festival winner, director Mauro Borrelli
and producer Jeff Kirshbaum. Yasmine recently shot the follow-up
video to the The Rembrandt's number one single, "I'll Be There For You,"
entitled "This House is not a Home" due out for release in September.
In November, she will begin production on "The Face," a Movie of the
Week for NBC. Yasmine also completed a full-motion live action
entertainment CD-ROM entitled, "Maximum Surge" (Digital Pictures) directed
by award-winning special effects wizard, William Mesa (Oscar nominated for the
box office blockbuster, "The Fugitive"). Bleeth plays Jo, an ace computer
engineer who is responsible for providing game players with guidance and technical
know-how to help defeat the evil dictator, Drexel. "Maximum Surge" will
be released this fall for PC, Mac and Sega Saturn. Yasmine
made her stage debut in the off-Broadway production of the one act plays "Welcome
to My Life" and "Looking for It." Yasmine Bleeth
currently resides in Los Angeles.
